The morning sun cast long shadows across the grounds of Zephon Gate as Xuan Fa walked slowly along the stone path that wound through the sect's inner courtyard. In his right hand, he held a leather leash that split into three separate leads, each connected to a black collar worn by the women who crawled behind him on hands and knees.
Lin Qiaoxin moved on his left, her twin tails bouncing with each careful movement. She kept her head lowered, her bare breasts brushing against the cool stone with every forward motion. Despite the indignity of her position, a small smile played at the corners of her lips.
Li Que crawled on his right, her fiery red hair swept back from her face, her athletic body glistening with a thin sheen of sweat. Her movements were precise and controlled, each hand placement deliberate, as though even in this submissive posture she maintained a warrior's discipline.
Shen Mengyue followed in the center, her long black hair trailing across the ground behind her. Her skin was pale and flawless, her body carrying both the freshness of youth and the allure of maturity. The black collar around her throat gleamed in the light.
Disciple after disciple passed them, each woman completely naked, going about their duties without shame or hesitation. Some carried buckets of water, others tended to the gardens, and a few practiced sword forms in an open pavilion. None of them stared or whispered. They had grown accustomed to seeing their three Grand Elders crawling like this.
When they reached a shaded gazebo overlooking a koi pond, Xuan Fa stopped. He wrapped the leash around a wooden post and sat down on a cushioned bench, his black练习服 flowing around him like shadow. His face remained expressionless as he looked down at the three women who now knelt before him, their foreheads pressed to the ground.
"You have all broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, is that correct?" His voice was flat, carrying no warmth.
Shen Mengyue lifted her head first. "Yes, Master. It is due to your discipline and the spiritual energy of the Xuan Realm that we were able to reach late Nascent Soul in three hundred years." She pressed her forehead back to the ground. "We are forever grateful."
Lin Qiaoxin nodded vigorously, her twin tails swaying. "Every spanking you gave us, every stroke of the board, it all helped refine our cultivation. Without your firm hand, we would still be stuck at mid-stage."
Li Que said nothing, but she also touched her forehead to the ground in agreement. Her red hair spread across the stone like spilled blood.
Xuan Fa studied them for a long moment. "Now that you have reached late Nascent Soul, I have tasks for the three of you."
He reached into his sleeve and produced three lengths of golden rope, each one glowing with faint runes. He held them out, and the women lifted their heads to look.
"Bai Zhenshuang, the Sword Sovereign of Heavenly Sword Sect, has spoken disrespectfully of Zephon Gate." He placed one rope in Shen Mengyue's outstretched hands. "Hua Qianyu, the Valley Mistress of Hundred Flowers Valley, allowed her disciples to occupy our medicinal garden. The disciples were driven off, but she has yet to offer proper reparation." He placed the second rope in Lin Qiaoxin's hands. "Su Qianyao, the Saintess of the Demon Clan, used her charm arts to cloud the minds of several Zephon Gate disciples. They recovered, but the offense remains." He placed the third rope in Li Que's hands.
The three women clutched the golden ropes reverently.
"You are to deliver a message to each of them," Xuan Fa continued. "They are to remove all their clothes, kneel at the entrance of Zephon Gate, present their buttocks, and receive one hundred strokes of the Heavenly Wood Board every day for ten years. If they refuse, you will defeat them in battle and bind them with these Immortal Binding Ropes, then drag them back here by force."
Lin Qiaoxin's smile widened. "Master, what if they put up a good fight?"
"Then break their pride before you bind them." Xuan Fa's eyes narrowed slightly. "You represent Zephon Gate. You represent me. Do not embarrass yourselves."
"Yes, Master," the three said in unison.
Shen Mengyue hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "Master, now that we have reached late Nascent Soul, this servant humbly requests an increase in our daily discipline. We would like to receive four hundred strokes instead of the usual two hundred."
Lin Qiaoxin's eyes sparkled. "Mengyue speaks for all of us, Master. Our bodies have grown accustomed to the current punishment. We need more to continue refining our cultivation."
Li Que finally spoke, her voice low but firm. "The flame within me burns brighter after each stroke. I would welcome more."
Xuan Fa's lips curved into the faintest smile. "So you've grown to love the feeling of the board on your buttocks, have you?"
Lin Qiaoxin blushed but did not lower her gaze. "We admit it, Master. The pain, the humiliation, the heat spreading through our bodies... it brings us closer to you. It reminds us that we belong to you completely."
"Mmm." Xuan Fa's fingers tapped on his knee. "When you have completed this mission, I will grant your request. I will increase your daily punishment accordingly. And I will add something extra as a reward for your success."
The three women pressed their foreheads to the ground. "Thank you, Master. We are eternally grateful."
"Now then." Xuan Fa stood and looked toward the main hall of Zephon Gate. "Let us finish today's discipline before you depart."
He clapped his hands once, and from within the hall emerged three young women. They walked with measured steps, their bodies bare except for the black collars around their necks. Each one bore a striking resemblance to one of the three kneeling women—eight out of ten facial features, the same body type, the same hair color.
Lin Yuxin had her mother's twin tails, though she had arranged her hair in a maid's bun instead. Her face was round and youthful, carrying the same playful energy as Lin Qiaoxin.
Li Yunling had her mother's fiery red hair, pulled into a high ponytail that swung behind her as she walked. She carried herself with the same cool pride, though her eyes softened when they landed on Li Que.
Shen Xingmian moved with elegant grace, her long black hair falling past her waist. She shared her mother's features—the same delicate nose, the same full lips, the same ethereal beauty.
All three young women walked to Xuan Fa and knelt before him, pressing their foreheads to the cool stone.
"Greetings, Master," they said in unison.
Xuan Fa looked down at them. "Your mothers' buttocks are itching for discipline." He gestured to a rack of wooden boards mounted on the nearby wall. "You will take the Heavenly Wood Boards and give each of them two hundred strokes. After that, you will have them spread their legs, and you will deliver one hundred lashes with the whip to their crotch seams. One hundred each. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master." The three young women rose and walked to the rack. Each selected a board of dark, polished wood that seemed to absorb the light around it. Heavenly Wood—the highest grade of punishment implement, infused with spiritual energy that made each strike burn both flesh and soul.
Shen Mengyue was the first to position herself. She turned around, lowered her upper body until her chest touched the stone floor, and raised her hips high. Her buttocks, already full and rounded, presented themselves like an offering.
"Yuxin," Lin Qiaoxin called out as she took her position beside Shen Mengyue. "When you strike me, aim for this spot here." She reached back and touched the lower curve of her right buttock. "That's where the energy gathers most intensely. A deep hit there sends shocks through my entire dantian."
Li Que positioned herself on the other side, her athletic body folding into the same posture. "Yunling," she said, her voice carrying a hint of pride, "do not hold back. I raised you to be strong. Show me that strength."
Li Yunling gripped her board. "Yes, Mother. I will not disappoint you."
Shen Mengyue twisted her head to look at her daughter. "Xingmian, strike at an angle. A downward swing will catch the lower curve better than a horizontal one. And put your weight into it—your cultivation may be low, but your body still carries strength."
Xingmian adjusted her grip. "I understand, Mother. I will make sure your punishment is thorough."
Xuan Fa sat back down on the bench, his eyes scanning the three mothers and three daughters. "Begin."
Lin Yuxin was the first to swing. Her Heavenly Wood Board cut through the air with a sharp whistle before connecting with Lin Qiaoxin's left buttock. The impact echoed through the courtyard like thunder. Lin Qiaoxin's body jerked, but she let out a soft moan rather than a cry of pain.
"Good," Lin Qiaoxin breathed. "Again."
*Whack.*
The second strike landed on the same spot, and Lin Qiaoxin's back arched. A red imprint bloomed across her pale skin.
Shen Xingmian drew back her arm and brought the board down on Shen Mengyue's raised buttocks. The sound was sharp and wet, and Shen Mengyue's fingers scraped against the stone floor. But her voice remained steady as she said, "Lower. Your swing was too high. Strike lower."
"Yes, Mother." Xingmian adjusted her aim and swung again.
*Whack.*
"Ahh..." Shen Mengyue's breath hitched. "That's... that's better. Continue."
Li Yunling approached her mother with the same measured precision she brought to everything. She raised the board high and brought it down with controlled force.
*Crack.*
Li Que's body absorbed the blow without flinching. "Faster," she said. "Do not leave gaps between strikes. The pain should accumulate."
"Yes, Mother." Li Yunling swung again, and this time the board landed a fraction of a second after the first.
*Crack.*
*Crack.*
*Crack.*
The rhythm of the boards filled the courtyard. With each strike, the mothers' buttocks darkened from red to purple, from purple to a deep, angry black. Their skin split in places, and thin trails of blood ran down their thighs. But none of them cried out in pain. Their moans were those of pleasure, their gasps those of satisfaction.
The disciples who passed by averted their eyes, but they did not stop their work. This was a common sight at Zephon Gate. Punishment and cultivation were one and the same.
After two hundred strokes each, the three mothers' buttocks were ruined. The skin had broken open in multiple places, revealing the raw flesh beneath. The buttocks had swelled to nearly twice their normal size, giving their bodies an almost comical appearance.
But the mothers did not complain. Instead, they moved to the next position. They lowered their upper bodies again, but this time they spread their knees apart, opening their thighs wide. Their vaginas and anuses were fully exposed, glistening with moisture.
"Now for the seams," Xuan Fa said. He gestured to the whips hanging on the wall—thin, braided leather cords with multiple tails. "One hundred lashes each. Make sure every lash lands precisely."
Lin Yuxin took down a whip and positioned herself behind Lin Qiaoxin. "Mother, shall I alternate between your vagina and your anus?"
Lin Qiaoxin laughed despite her ruined state. "Yes, but focus more on the lips of my cunt. That's where the sensitivity is highest. And do not be gentle—I want to feel the sting for the rest of the day."
"As you wish, Mother." Lin Yuxin raised the whip and brought it down.
*Crack.*
The lash landed squarely across Lin Qiaoxin's labia. She gasped and shuddered, her body trembling. But when she spoke, her voice was breathless and eager. "Again. Harder."
*Crack.*
This time the lash caught her clitoris, and Lin Qiaoxin cried out—not in pain, but in ecstasy. Her vagina dripped with arousal, coating her inner thighs.
Shen Xingmian approached her mother with the same quiet grace. She examined the target area carefully befor
